Overview of this book

With its broad adoption across various industries, Kubernetes is helping engineers with the orchestration and automation of container deployments on a large scale, making it the leading container orchestration system and the most popular choice for running containerized applications. This Kubernetes book starts with an introduction to Kubernetes and containerization, covering the setup of your local development environment and the roles of the most important Kubernetes components. Along with covering the core concepts necessary to make the most of your infrastructure, this book will also help you get acquainted with the fundamentals of Kubernetes. As you advance, you'll learn how to manage Kubernetes clusters on cloud platforms, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and develop and deploy real-world applications in Kubernetes using practical examples. Additionally, you'll get to grips with managing microservices along with best practices. By the end of this book, you'll be equipped with battle-tested knowledge of advanced Kubernetes topics, such as scheduling of Pods and managing incoming traffic to the cluster, and be ready to work with Kubernetes on cloud platforms.

Summary

This first chapter gave us room for a big introduction. We covered a lot of subjects, such as monoliths, microservices, Docker containers, cloud computing, and Kubernetes. We also discussed how this project came to life. You should now have a global vision of how Kubernetes can be used to manage your containers in production.

In the next chapter, we will discuss the process Kubernetes follows to launch a Docker container. You will discover that you can issue commands to Kubernetes, and these commands will be interpreted by Kubernetes as instructions to run containers. We will list and explain each component of Kubernetes and its role in the whole cluster. There are a lot of components that make up a Kubernetes cluster, and we will discover all of them. We will explain how Kubernetes was technically built with a focus on the distinction between master nodes, worker nodes, and control plane components.
